Welcome to Little Science Daily. Today we talk about circular cities. These cities are very green. In most cities, people buy things, use them, and then throw them away. This makes a lot of trash. Circular cities are different. They use things again and again. This is a circular system because it goes in a circle. In these cities, people do not only recycle paper. They also repair things. If a toy or a phone breaks, people fix it. They do not buy a new one immediately. Friends also share clothes and tools. This helps our planet stay clean. When we reuse things, we save energy. We also protect nature. Many cities are trying this new idea now. It is a great way to help the Earth. Would you like to live in a city like this? Fixing your old toys is better than buying new ones.
